So to read file on application server?

[Former Member]

I have to read file on application server and display the report.

For that i have to use 'Open Dataset' and 'Read Dataset'.

my file on application server having naming convention like

'System ID + Date + TIme of file download'

On selection screen of my report there is only Sytem ID and Date.

I don't have 'Time Stamp' in my report.

So how I can fetch file on Application server.

Please guide me.

Hi,

Check this f4 function for search file from application server , you need code this into your code so user can select

Check these FM:
F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION
TH_SELECT_SERVER

Or check this code:

PARAMETERS: f_app(128).
 
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR f_app.
  PERFORM get_fname_app.
 
 
FORM get_fname_app.
 
  DATA: c_fnh_mask TYPE dxfields-filemask VALUE '*.*',
  search_dir TYPE dxfields-longpath VALUE '/sapglobal/users',
  file_path LIKE dxfields-longpath.
 
  CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION'
    EXPORTING
      i_location_flag = 'A'
      i_server        = ' '
      i_path          = search_dir
      filemask        = c_fnh_mask
      fileoperation   = 'R'
    IMPORTING
      o_path          = file_path
    EXCEPTIONS
      rfc_error       = 1
      OTHERS          = 2.
  IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    f_app = file_path.
  ENDIF.
ENDFORM.                    "get_fname_app
